In her sophisticated and nuanced treatment of gender and museums (including all kinds of collections, in all kinds of institutional settings), Hill makes a remarkable contribution that deserves to be read by all those interested in Victorian history and gender, as well as those specifically studying museums and collections. Crucially, her work also helps us think about the interactions between gender, power, and knowledge production in our own day. What comes out of this remarkable study, then, is a new way to appreciate the extraordinarily malleable and fascinating space that is the modern museum, in all of its many guises.’\u003cbr\u003eAmy Woodson-Boulton, Loyola Marymount University, Victorian Studies, Vol 60, No. 3\u003c\/p\u003e -- .\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eList of figures\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgements\u003cbr\u003eList of abbreviations\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction\u003cbr\u003e1.
